Description
Functions like buildList
were frequently used at the beginning of Kotlin, but it seems like nowadays it is much better to use fake constructors instead of top-level functions. So, I suggest adding a Payload{ }
builder and deprecate buildPayload
without changing its desgin.
Motivation
The only motivation for this change is discoverability. If you want to create Payload, you start typing Payload without looking into documentation for function. It is not possible to do that for List
in the standard library because it would be ambiguous now, but for Payload
it seems to be a good solution.
